I was running through my blawg roll (on the right) earlier and realised I'd have to have a bit of a prune. Anything with no posts since May goes out, I thought. Blimey, a few surprises there. I'd put some silences down to it (technically) being summer, but...

Corporate Blawg's Blawg Review is up. I believe the word that I am groping for is "awe", possibly "shock" as well, but definitely mostly awe. [For anyone bewildered by the title of this post, enlightenment may be found here]
UK 'surprisingly interesting' shock
There I was, coasting along in a post-blawg review smugness, when this post on Appellate Law & Practice popped up as an inbound link: There is a Blawg Review going on at Nearly Legal. The guy is a Brit, but he says a lot of interesting things about...
Blawg Review #115
Welcome to Nearly Legal. I'm delighted to be hosting Blawg Review for my first time and in the UK for the second time. What follows is the best of recent Law blog posts, as heavily filtered through the pre-occupations of an english, publicly-funded civil...
Submit to me…
Nearly Legal is hosting Blawg Review #115, due out this coming Monday 2 July. The Blawg Review is a weekly travelling round up of the best of the recent blawg posts (or whatever has caught the eye of the host). Anybody who would like to recommed a blawg...
England expects..?
A while ago, I put myself down to write one of the weekly Blawg Reviews, as did Corporate Blawg. I thought no more about it. The Blawg Review is largely US based, that being where there are most Law blogs. What hadn't occurred to me was that between us,...
Now we are One.
Looking back in the archive for an old post, I realise to my astonishment that this blog is one year old. Granted, the years do whip past more rapidly as there are fewer of them left, but blimey, where did that one go? One answer to where that one went is...
Circular allusions and problems with names.
Via Lawyer-2-be (whose name has apparently been lifted by The Lawyer for its student site, alas), I discovered the gloriously named blog Belle de Jure. Apparently by an off-duty academic lawyer, it's off to an entertaining start. According to a recent post,...
Blawgfest 2007, bon chance…
Despite having been thoroughly up for it, one of the side effects of my new found traineeship-ness is that I can't go to the UK Legal Blawg Conference, organised by Geeklawyer and Ruthie, on 18th May as I'm being inescapably trained. It looks like a good and...
A Public Apology…
... to Oliver Heald MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs. Four posts ago, I wrote a distinctly sceptical response to a comment from Oliver Heald on my post about the report of the Consitutional Affairs Committee on the legal aid reforms....
Oooh Shiny
How did I spend the bank holiday? A new wordpress theme (self-modified K2), new layout and some very shiny additional toys. Try, for instance, the search box at the top right. Oh yes - direct page update ajaxy goodness. Likewise try the archive page (via the...
As read by the Shadow Cabinet
The release of the final report of the Parliamentary Consitutional Affairs committee on the DCA/LSC proposed changes to legal aid funding was, I thought, an important moment in the wrestle over the future of legal aid. So I posted about it. Imagine my...
